Thought I would add to the thread ""Correct interior finish for 69/70 GTO front parking light housing?" that was posted recently. It was decided that a reflective "metallic" finish was correct.

I just purchased a pair of used 1968 A-body front turn/parking light housings to replace the rotted ones on my '68 Lemans. They are stamped GUIDE 25, SAE DPP, 68. I was not able to find my originals to use as a comparison, but recall they were in pretty bad shape and I was not going to use them, so I most likely threw them out. Found the lenses only.

The interior finish on the '68 front turn/parking light housings are painted white. The metal housings are anodized and the white paint applied over this just in the front area that is concealed by the plastic lense. You can see in photo #2 that the white paint is behind the bulb socket/bracket, so it gets painted prior to the socket installation. So these would have not had the reflective metallic finish found on the 1969/70 units.

Just figured this info might be something for future use to someone restoring their 1968 front turn/parking signal light housings. :thumbsup:

Hello All,
I'm going to need to replace the rear quarters on my 1969 tempest convertible. There appear to be several aftermarket companies that make them. Any advice on which company may be the best or which one to avoid.
Thanks for your help,

Hi All,
The original LH hideaway headlight door cover on my '68 has turned brittle and developed cracks. Due to its age, I expect the RH side will soon follow. My search for quality OEM replacements has not yielded any in better condition than what I am replacing. I would appreciate any...

Help!
Has anyone taken off the lower front valance from a 68? Does the endurance bumper have to come off to remove the valance? I need to get to repair the broken tabs on the front grills (flappin in the wind!).
Thanks

I tried to search in case this question has been asked but how do we remove the chrome trim that is below the rear window on my 1964 GTO convertible?
We removed the side trim but this trim has a deeper lip and we are afraid to destroy it removing it. Does it have the same clips that the side...

Hi Guys,
I got deeper than I thought with a repair to a rotted out core support that got really involved fixing other related, and non-related things.
A non-related thing was adding the Hideaway headlight option.
Got a replacement Endura that had HH mounts, and ran into a deal on most all...
